And the quality and taste is so much better--it's so much fresher. Another reason we enjoy making our own brown sugar is that we no longer have this sugar going hard as nails in our canister. Because it's so easy to make, we only make it in small amounts--perhaps enough for a week's-worth of recipes.
So to make your own brown sugar, measure white sugar according to how much brown sugar you want on hand. The basic recipe is:
1 Cup white granulated sugar
1 Tbsp unsulphured molasses
In a bowl mix together the sugar and molasses. That's it. We almost fee obligated to say more--to somehow make it sound more complicated. But we can't. This is ALL you do. There'll be a point where the mixture seems a little sticky or gooey at first, but press on. Keep mixing. We promise, the sugar absorbs all the molasses and all stickiness or gooiness disappears.
We hope you enjoy this additional independence from the grocery store. So going forward--together we can laugh in the face of being out of powdered or brown sugars! As long as we have plenty of white sugar in our pantries, we're still in charge!
In closing, do you have any tricks of your own to staying out of the store? Please share, we love hearing from you and so appreciate your experiences and expertise. We're all in this together, and we can't think of better people to be "in it" with. Until next time, then, here's to family dinner made easy as we practice a little independence from the 'ol grocery store!
